I live in the country 7 mi. from town pop. Of 7,900 and we have wireless internet with speed of 1 meg. But that's OK we lived for over 20 yrs with dial-up for 10 of those. We had that choice and made it I would hate to see what the so called higher speeds would cost us and would hate to pay for everyone else's either. As for movies we can't watch any and most of the time can't watch a u-tube without it stopping a dozen times for a 3 min. one.
The FCC has no business in this area period, even if the King want it. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of W0MU Mike Fatchett Sent: Friday, February 27, 2015 1:13 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [Bulk] OT: Verizon's response to Net Neutrality: in Morse code!! Dick, I am curious who do you think is going to pay for who ever it is to build a system to you out in the desert? That is a trade off for moving out in the boon docks. When we moved to Colorado we had party lines. We lived in Parker and that was considered at the time WAY out there. My office is in Castle Rock, CO a town of 30k plus. We have one provider for internet. Century link. I think it is up to 9mb now DSL. Xfininity is working on bringing their cable down the road. Project to take up to 9 months. I have no clue how they are paying for it. While you may get your internet, what you have to pay for it might make you ill. Let us not forget all the new add on taxes and fees that will be paying because of all these regulations and the expense that the providers are going to have to pay to stay within the regulations. Who is going to police this? Oh the FCC needs to hire more staff. Who pays for that? The tax payer. More taxes. I think we were just scared of the big ole FCC back in the day. I don't think they were much different, we just got smarter. There is no pot of gold. The money comes from somebody.
